SCALANCE X-200 switches in compact design

You can implement line and star structures with the switches of the SCALANCE X‑200 product line; it is also possible to implement low-cost electrical or optical ring topologies with transmission rates up to 100 Mbit/s. All switches with the exception of the X208PRO can be used in the ring as redundancy managers. As a redundancy manager, an X‑200 switch monitors the SCALANCE X switches connected via its ring ports; it switches bumpless to the substitute route on failure of a transmission route or a switch in the ring.

The switches of the SCALANCE X‑200 product line are available in two designs:

• X-200 in a rugged compact housing
• XF-200 in a flat housing according to the ET 200S format
